Wanted to share. New to me pre-war Heym dbl rifle drilling in 9.3x74 over 16ga. Got to take it out last weekend. First group and only group I shot - only at 25 yards, but shows promise. Was glad to find 16ga Brennekes! I intentionally shot the slug on the other target not knowing where it would land. Will have in the field this fall. Thanks!

Thanks much. Not yet on paper.

Looks like some great regulation. Do you know what your shotgun barrel is choked? I’ve got a Heym 22S combo in 16ga/22 mag, and I was thinking about shooting some brennekes through it as well.

What loads were the 9.3 groups shot with?
 
That's amazing!
 
Thanks. The 9.3 ammo was S&B factory. The Brennekes were 2.5” as that is what the seller told me. When I got it, it’s marked for 2-3/4”. Perhaps full length shells will regulate better. I was told it’s modified choke but need to confirm. According to Brenneke’s website, their slugs can be shot out of a full choke barrel. Good luck with your 22/S!
